Council Leader David Hingley marked the moment at the start of the meeting. He said: “I’m very pleased, personally, that we are here in Banbury playing our part in driving the regeneration of the town. I’m particularly pleased that our new officers have achieved an ‘A’ rating for energy efficiency.
“I’d also like to recognise the work that has been done by the officers in getting us to this point.”
